Apple Cash Payment to Friend. Where is the money?

Apple Cash. I sent money to my friend via apple cash this past saturday. I received a confirmation number. Message said please allow 1-3 business days to fund. Today 9/30/2026 was the 3rd business day and the recipiant did not receive my apple cash into their account. Can I cancel the apple cash payment? If so, how do I do this? I see in wallet an option to re-send but no option to cancel.

iPhone 14, iOS 26

Yes.

Seems so: ie: as long as the transaction in still "pending", and the receiver hasn't accepted it.


Send and receive money with Apple Cash - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"If you sent a payment to someone and want to cancel it

In your Apple Cash transaction history, person-to-person payments appear with a name, phone number, or email address. If the transaction status says pending, the receiver hasn't accepted your payment yet, and you can cancel it.

Apple Cash person-to-person payments are like any other private transaction between two people, so only send and receive money with people you know."
